It doesn't. The PPACA doesn't provide any funding for abortion.

Precise the kind of thing I'd think you'd support, as you said you're all for that.

Why would anyone's opposition to this (the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act -- what a misnomer) have any bearing on the abortion issue then?
See above.

I am for the cessation of Planned Parenthoods abortion services. You can cast that any way you like.
That's fine. But I asked you if you were in favor of stopping federal funding to Planned Parenthood, the very federal funding that does NOT provide abortions, but DOES provide birth control, pregnancy prevention education - the very things you said you strongly support. Yes or no?
